A contactless data carrier which is adapted to be disposed in a receiving portion of an object connection device includes a base and a tag member. The base is adapted to be tucked into the receiving portion and has an upper section and a lower section, which are connected to each other. An outer peripheral surface of the base is adapted to abut against an inner surface of the receiving portion. A width of the upper section gradually decreases in a direction away from the lower section. A width of the lower section gradually decreases in a direction away from the upper section. The tag member is disposed at the base is stored with data relative to the object connection device to be read in a contactless manner by a reading device.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A contactless data carrier, which is adapted to be disposed in a receiving portion of an object connection device, comprising: a base, which is adapted to be tucked into the receiving portion, wherein an outer peripheral surface of the base has a plurality of projections arranged at regular intervals; a top surface of each of the projections is adapted to abut against an inner surface of the receiving portion; and a tag member, which is disposed at the base, wherein the tag member is stored with a piece of data relative to the object connection device; the tag member is adapted to be read in a contactless manner by a reading device; wherein the outer peripheral surface of the base has a plurality of annular grooves recessed therefrom, and each of the annular grooves respectively and completely surrounds one of the projections to thereby provide space for facilitating abutment of the projection against a corresponding inner surface of the receiving portion.
2. The contactless data carrier of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of each of the projections is a convex surface.
3. The contactless data carrier of claim 1 , wherein the projections are made of an elastic material.
